.357 Bulldog and Slugs,
- Thread starter Imold
- Start date
Hit the nail on the head Coldair, I was going to shoot today being it’s 19* out with now wind, perfect day to shoot and then I open my curtains and see this, on a 1200 acre lake the only person on the whole lake has to be down range about 500 yards ice fishing, to close for me to shoot and feel safe, that’s my life as they say.

As far as accuracy goes they are all hitting my 60 yard target but I need to get a paper target set up to see exactly what’s going on, I do have some 127 gr flat points I might give a try when the weather gets a bit better. Have/had some other things going on so I haven’t shot the Bulldog in a bit.

You need an amphibious radio controlled target stand to crawl out on the ice (or motor out on the water in the spring), haha

I’ve thought about putting a ice anchor out at 105 yards with a block and tackle/pulley set up and building a target on a sled and use a rope system at ground level to pull it out and in with, maybe some type of reverseable electric motor like a wench motor. It’s been a thought for a couple years but then I can just get my son to drag it out and back for me hahaha, can’t leave it out due to snowmobiles riding on the lake, I could probably put reflectors on it but don’t like the idea of being liable if someone runs into it even if had reflectors, not all snowmobilers are should we say sober.

The 142 gr. Nielsen HP BT's were about as accurate as the Nossler's but were leaving the barrel about the same speed or even a little slower. Those were .357's. I mic'd the Nossler's and they ran .356 so I ordered a second batch of Nielsen's in .356 and will try those.

I got my tuned Bulldog a couple of days ago. Initial results are amazing. Shooting 185 gr hollow points at 913 FPS, for FPE of 344. Took to range and zeroed at 80 yards. Took out to 140 yards, shot two slugs, 2” apart.

Spent fun morning at range with Bulldog. Was using 185 gr hollow points. Had great FPE, 344, but lacked accuracy. This morning used Matt’s 148 gr hollow point. At 50, 75 and 100 yds, holes touching. Amazing accuracy. Still getting 244 FPE.
